This update is now announced in the following tweet of @notcom:

We all know how important it is to save your SHSH Blobs to keep the possibility to downgrade your iDevice for Jailbreaking. But for the newbies a small explanation:

Why should I Save iOS 5.1.1 SHSH Blobs?

SHSH stands for Signature HaSH. This is a 128 bit signature used by Apple to keep track of your iDevice and is the key to restoring and upgrading your iDevice. Each time you try to restore or upgrade your iDevice, Apple reads and compares the blobs to verify that you are not downgrading your iDevice. So, if you accidentally upgraded your iDevice to iOS 5.1.1 and you want to go back afterwards and perform a downgrade: That is where TinyUmbrella comes in!

Saving your blobs allows you to downgrade your iDevice to a lower firmware version. Being able to do this can be useful for a lot of reasons, but the most important one being if you accidentally upgrade to a firmware version that cannot be jailbroken. By default, Apple doesn’t allow you to downgrade the firmware.

TinyUmbrella to Save iOS 5.1.1 SHSH Blobs Coming soon!

So, while iOS 5.1.1 has already seen the light, the big wait now is for Notcom to release his TinyUmbrella update enabling us to save iOS 5.1.1 SHSH Blobs.

Hi, I’m afraid you are pretty much stuck with iOS 6.0.1 and can’t be jailbroken. In order to save SHSH blobs, you need to have your device on the exact firmware which you need the SHSH blobs from. For instance, if you wish to save your iOS 5.1.1 blobs, you need to be in iOS 5.1.1. Sorry! :\
